Childhood Not Chains
Friday, Jan 8, 2010 8:00 am- 3:00 pm
Paradise Valley Community College
As community members we have a great opportunity to participate in this conference to raise awareness and mobilize the community into action. The focus is on state issues regarding trafficking with an emphasis on minors. The all-day seminar consists of two main speaking sessions as well as interactive and informational workshop breakout sessions. A working lunch will have attendees grouped by region for community action planning.
The featured speakers are : Chris Brey with the Phoenix Police Department Vice Squad and Cindy Holt with Catholic Charities. The workshops will be led by several leaders from the community. These include: Brianna Reeser, Creating faith-based initiatives to fight trafficking;Peggy Bilsten, Community action legislation; Kelly Luther, Victim Services.
Last year this conference was the first of it’s kind locally. 135 people attended and they are hoping to double that this year. The conference has limited resources for promotion so please pass this information on to your friends, family and church communities so they won’t miss the opportunity to be a part of this important day.
